Mother Panic

There are three artists doing three issues each and rotating. Each has their unique style, so the storyline reflects that while staying consistent. Each artist has a villain that ties into their aesthetic.
Shawn Crystal's art tends to be more fantastical while Tommy Lee Edwards is more gritty.
Steve Orlando wanted to use Ratcatcher in his Vixen one shot with Jody, but he was already being used in Mother Panic.
"Sometimes Steve and I get the same fixation on old weird characters" -Gerard Way
John Paul Leon is the third artist. The villain will be Remains. His costume is a body bag.

Shade The Changing Girl

Loma is the alien possessing Megan. Cecil wanted to show how she's a different character from the horrible person that is Megan. Focusing on
Dan Parent (Archie) is working on Life With Honey, the backup story in Shade. It's Loma's favorite Earth TV show that found its way to her home planet. This is based on what actually happened with how I Love Lucy was broadcast.
The series will be moving to Gotham for an arc and includes nods to the rest of the YA line.
"The best comics are a product of their time while still being timeless" – Gerard Way

The series is a love letter to Kirby
Gerard Way spoke about how taken he was by how passionate the team is about the character and that Young Animal is great about diving into obscure characters
